Other National Institutions

The National Congress of Local Democratic Organs is a national body
charged with representing the interests of local government. Members of
this body are drawn from the regional governments. Each Regional
Democratic Council elects two members to sit on the national congress.
The constitution also provides for members of other local councils to
elect members; however, no other local bodies have been created by the
central government. The national congress's role is advisory.

The members of the National Assembly, together with all the members
of the National Congress of Local Democratic Organs, form the Supreme
Congress of the People. The supreme congress meets at times designated
by the executive president to make recommendations to him or her on
matters of public interest. It may be dissolved by the executive
president by proclamation and is automatically dismissed if the
executive president dissolves the National Assembly.
